Jay-Z has long backed President Obama, and after last week's headline-making news thatObama supports same-sex marriage, the hip-hop mogul is applauding the president for breaking new ground and helping bring progress in the gay-rights movement.

"I've always thought it as something that was still holding the country back," Jay-Z told CNN in Philadelphia, where he announced the launch of the Made in America festival."What people do in their own homes is their business, and you can choose to love whoever you love. That's their business. It's no different than discriminating against blacks. It's discrimination, plain and simple."

yo straight up, F-U-C-k the Gay community and every last supporter of them. the supporters are the dumbest motherf-u-c-k-ers on the face of the planet. whats there to support? these little b-i-t-c-h-es celebrating n-i-g-g-az a-s-s f-u-c-k-i-n by throwing them a parade and s-h-i-t/ wtf is that all about? being gay is an illness. a chemical imbalance, why are we celebrating it? they should be finding ways to treat it. when people have a mental illness, its best to treat it rather than celebrate it and encourage the behavior.

Bottom line is iss not alright to have shet and feeces on ya d!ck!! And lezbos wuss up wit dat?? They claimin they dont want d!ck yet they insertin all type ah objects in they twot muffin to simulate d!ck penetration!!! We cant allow political correckness to trump ACTUAL CORRECKNESS!!

@Justflow so what they can't reproduce, that's a dumb argument to why they can't get married... Do some research, Children raised in a same sex home have a higher education and make more money then someone raised in a 2 parent house hold. #Facts
Shout out to @Tash simply my point.... Let people be with whomever they wanna be with and marry whoever they want to marry
@samthegreat Okay they can get married Legally but not in a church, okay well Gay's believe in the same god we do so why can't they get married in a church. One sin is not bigger then the other. But being judgemental to your fellow man or women is a sin
@torchdollars.... Keep ya kids away from gay folks, WTF, how about keep ya kids aways from Priest, Pastors & Dudes inside the church....
